Corona virus and Marijuana

[Terpz719]

They are puttin real money in the legalization here in Florida , with verbiage to keep people from home growing and forcing buying from their dispensary! It’s sicking , but they have gotten good at it !

FL is still med only isn't it?

I will have to give my buddy a call it’s been a bit over a year since I called him. He was selling 20 packs at a time to the shops. 72 plants under 72 lights lol

He is a full caregiver. 5 patients and himself with 12 plants each. The selling is not actually allowed. But it was when they started rec last year. They had a shortage while the big grows started up.

 

[MIGrampaUSA]

Seems so wrong to have to check on the news. But it is



Well when they were allowed to “donate” “overages” shops were still technically illegal. Then the first wave of corperate med grows started. Now like 4 years later its all revamped again for rec. and caregivers (like always from the rules) can take “donations” from up to 5 patients and grow their 12 plants each.

Hope that made sense.

Yes, back then, when you asked how much that flower cost, the bud tender would say something like "for a donation of $35 an 1/8. I'd be thinking to myself, if its on a donation basis, then technically I have a choice to "donate" and the weed should still be free. The word "donation" was a spin to stay in line with the law, even though dispensaries were operating in a legal gray area.

Yeah..If it's a donation..Just try and deduct that from your income taxes..LMFAO

Yep. Only just got smoke able a year or so ago.

I agree that anything that is sold should be tested, especially for fungicides and pesticides.

A sample of everything we sold was tested. I had to pay 60 and a test sample each time we transfered (sold). They split the lab fee with me. I though i was going to be a legimate medical grower back then.

El Dorado County stops non-essential travel to South Lake Tahoe

Wondering if things will ever be like they were...kind of see masks being with us for a while, ubiquitous, like in China... How many of us will be around, how our families and friends will fare..?
How subtly we’ll all change...?

USA is heading for a disaster I'd bet 2nd only to India in total deaths when its over US Fed gov failure of their citizens. trump leaves governors to fight over medical supplies amongst themselves feel sorry for all Americans right now

The shitshow we’re being subjected to isn’t over and will get worse before any upturn. Ironic that all those Oil assholes got tested before their big circle jerk with trump...No one else has tests or equipment...
I hope all the guilty parties are going to be roasted over a spit when this is over for all the fucks they threw into the various blue states. When the realization that the early adoption of sheltering in place is saving people wonder if that will penetrate john q citizen thick skull...? Especially all the dimwits wanting to have church services...very ironic. Maybe religion will take a break for a while, the fraudster style anyways...apologies if I’m too, whatever, but this is what I’m thinking.

 

[Dan789]

I cracked up at our state school board.
They wanted to have a meeting all last week to decide how to move forward with education in the state.
You know what the big holdup was?
They could not bring themselves to call it home school, they had to come up with a new name because they couldn't be confused with the evil home schoolers.
So they decided to call it "distance schooling.
Bunch of freaks!

Homeschooling isn’t bad in itself, it’s the other shit that sometimes attributed to some in that frame of thinking...imho

One would hope the capitlists going on TV and demanding blood sacrifice to sustain capitalism would wake some people up.

It was interesting picking up on the capitalist, versus socialism debate currently going on. When I had my small business I could write off so many things and ended up paying less tax then when I was previously working for someone else. I know that the write-offs only got bigger and more imaginative as companies got larger and could afford professional accounting advice (crooks, without masks in white shirts)...effectively corporate welfare. Leaving the unsuspecting public to pick up that slack.
When its for the people, social safety net=bad, when the corp’s do it not paying any tax, have laws written to further enable their efforts, off shoring profits, globalization keeping wages low, and all the insider trading=good.

That is fucked up and due to a great PR champaign on the American public, who ultimately picks up that tab. Imho, again.

Don't know about FL, but in CO, from what I understand, you can get approved for a higher plant count for certain conditions and or if you tell them you only consume it as edibles.

Thought this was funny - I was talking to my brother, who is VERY supportive of the current administration and decries anything with the slightest whiff of socialism. When I asked him if he was going to send his stimulus check back - dead silence. LOL.

I have a 72 plant count but the city limits to 12. But I will take my chances in court. The only difference between getting a 12-24 plant count and 72 is the extra $200.

I thought that 50 could bring in the feds?
I am not as worried about local LE here, since unless you are selling..they probably would not waste their time. (just my guess)
